Trust & Obey; or Succumb to Fear


Moses and the children of Israel were resting by the Red Sea, just beginning to enjoy their new freedom when suddenly they saw the approaching Egyptian army.   Isaiah 43:16-17 tells us that it was not Pharaoh, but the Lord that drew the Egyptians out against Israel.  This amazes me!  God does, and permits things in our lives that are beyond our comprehension.  But ultimately, if we remain faithful and submit to Him in the process, we end up praising Him even more for the glory of his power, love, provision and protection at work in our lives!  Praise the Lord, he is an ever present help in all our troubles!  Do you see enemy hosts approaching?  Are you overwhelmed with problems, run to that place of prayer, call out to Him; submit to his Word and… “don’t fear, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord!”  Exo 14:13
